Pros

Coworkers are equally scared and can bond over the trauma.

Cons

No actual communication between management and employees. Very cliquey and unprofessional work environment. Expect your last day to come as a suprise with no input or explanation from corporate. At this company you are expendable and disposable no matter how hard you work. Don't expect them to keep you long enough to prove yourself if you don't cliche with them right away.

Thank you for your leaving a review. We are disappointed to hear your thoughts on Medpace. We strive to make Medpace an organization where collaboration and communication is encouraged. We have training for all managers regarding cross-departmental communication, and communication with their teams. Medpace provides initial and ongoing training for our CRAs through our PACE (Professionals Achieving CRA Excellence) program. This is highly valued in our organization due to the collaboration it provides between our CRAs and management. This program is rigorous and provides training needed for any CRAs that actively work at our sites. Not only do we feel it’s extremely successful, but we have been recognized with multiple awards that show the quality of our work. We acknowledge, however, that not all candidates successfully complete the program. It is apparent that Medpace was not the best fit for you, but we appreciate your review.

Pros

Coworkers are willing to help you and answer questions.

Cons

Abysmal pay for industry standards. Work will be piled on continuously. More and more studies. Forced to present impossible timelines. And then you have to speak to why these timelines were not met after the fact when it's outside of your control. Travel expectations thrown at you with a couple days notice. CEO micromanages the entire company. They track when you badge in and badge out of the building. You have to badge out to exit. Upper management throws you under the bus in front of sponsor despite agreeing with you in prep call and telling you they will have your back. People here work crazy long hours late into the evening and think it's normal.
